  • Quote from doolie: “Yes you need to work to survive, what I'm saying is that if it were legalized, do you think more people would work or not work? It may not be the only reason that they won't legalize but it is one the reasons. And just to let you know, I work full time.” Alcohol does the same thing, the government tried to make Alcohol illegal, and it was useless because people continued to make and sell alcohol anyway. even if they did make weed legal, the majority of the population wouldn't…

  • Quote from doolie: “ And the reason it won't ever be legal is because it gives you a different perspective on life, a perspective that is that working and the government are stupid and pointless. A perspective that the most important things in life are relaxing and being around your friends, enjoying yourself and the time you have on this planet rather than working your time away for someone else. Why would the government legalize something that makes people realize all the wrong with our societ…

  • if you think that book was something special, forget it. every dime he made off of that book went to the family of the victims of the murder, because of the fact that the civil court found him guilty. (which is bullshit in my opinion) the only reason he wrote the book was for money, it doesn't matter whether he did it or not, he did it for money, and of all the money he made from the book, he didn't see a cent of it.

  • Quote from Ammon: “But he is in office and he got in again. I really don't doubt you wouldn't have many people voting for him again and getting him office again. obviously, people hate him so much, but he got elected not once but twice. I imagine you'd be surprised at how many votes he'd have. Now that makes me curious... Now I wana know if people who voted for Bush would vote for him again if he ran again. D=” you seriously think that if Bush was to run again he would be elected to a third term…

  • Quote from Ammon: “Bush got voted back in office even though he's so awful in everyone's opinion. I imagine it's possible 2 more times. I really don't see how how many terms he served is really relevant.” bush shouldn't have been in office in the first place... and like it or not, the majority of the country that voted felt that bush would be the best president other then John Kerry. for those who complain now have no reason too. they put him in office, they should really just stfu, they honestl…

  • Quote from Frosty: “Argumentum ad populum. If you're going to argue he is a good president you need more than "but he ranks high in opinion polls and was elected for 4 terms". Also, yes, I do believe I am 'smarter' than most people when it comes to economics. Most people know absolutely nothing about the topic.” I also didn't pick FDR purely off of him leading the country through the depression, which was arguable the worst time for all Americans, but for FDR's presidency and leadership through …

  • its probably incredibly important, and will be eventually extremely useful to learn the Spanish language. I know enough to survive, but I probably couldn't carry a conversation. I also am thinking of learning German, becuase I've though of going to school outside of America, to widen my world view, and I've also heard Germany is huge in business, which is important to me because my major in studies is business.

  • an ounce of uncertainty means you can't say his guilty simply because you can't say it without a doubt. OJ's lawyer managed to insert just enough of uncertainty, just enough of reasonable doubt that he didn't do it, that it was the jury's duty to say not guilty. I think everyone is sure OJ actually did do it, but OJ didn't get off by any means, the guy's life has been hell ever since.

  • Quote from Neal: “I know, Thomas Jefferson loved slaves so much he had sex with them. And he tried to pass a law to abolish slavery and it was 1 vote short... which would have led to no Civil War.” your a little confused on Jefferson's attempts on slavery... at most, Jefferson attempted to limit slavery, or stop slavery from entering new states, he managed to abolish the slave trade at most. you are also forgetting that Jefferson by today's standards was also a complete racist, who believed blac…

  • Quote from Neal: “Regardless of how many good things you can find about Washington, I just wanted to point out the fact that he had slaves and wasn't against it when he should have been, like Thomas Jefferson. :/” guess what Neal, you just fucked up.... Thomas Jefferson = Honest Abe Lincoln even though they say something, it doesn't mean the actually intend to do anything about it. Lincoln especially. Thomas Jefferson owned 187 slaves, and had 5 children with a slave named Sally Hemings, and of …

    well sasha, I thought I had put in parenthesis (if you have, in fact been to America) but it disappeared, or maybe I just forgot to post it, or maybe it was edited, I don't know, I don't care. either way, I don't believe you, which brings a huge amount of skepticism of how you know so much about the social lives in our schools and every day life, when you haven't been here long enough, or at all, to actually see it with your own eyes. I hope you don't go through life thinking you know what Ameri…

  • Quote from Neal: “So if an American says something retarded, should that be handled the American way? Eh Washington had slaves.” and Reagen was quoted saying nigger in a joke. I said Washington for the fact that he denied the opportunity when Americans asked him to be the "King" of America, because he knew it would ultimately fail and a democratic government was the best path. you talking like that is like people telling me I should LOVE Lincoln as president. when I respect his ability to keep t…

  • Quote from Frosty: “What? the assertion that FDR's economic policies consisted primarily of fail? A small part of the economic problems at the time. As for the rest of the economy which he did have control over, he did a terrible job of controlling it.” no, its funny that you claim he was a horrible president. yet according to the wall street journal, and many Americans today he was one of the best. I also find it Ironic that if he was such a bad president, why was he elected for 4 consecutive t…

  • Quote from Neal: “Um no, if I didn't get it the 1st time, I won't get it a 2nd time. Since you put your argument in the form of a question, I have no idea what you are arguing because you could argue it either way. So I have no idea what side you are arguing. For example... I came across a pastor's signature on Google groups. It said: "The Bible claims Adam and Eve story 6,000 years ago. Evolution claims millions of years ago. 1 is right, they can't both be right." Then I go, "Oh, so that's how …

  • Quote from Frosty: “FDR was a terrible president. It's largely his fault that the great depression was so long and economically damaging.” that's funny, I find it incredible that he was voted the 3rd best president in the history of this country in a survey given by the Wall Street Journal (which is a paper that is read by the more intelligent part of the population.) FDR was the president during the depression, but the depression was also hinged a lot on the dust bowl, which is something FDR ha…

  • Quote from Capt Sasha: “The best US president in my opinion would be Abraham Lincoln. My personal favourite is George W. Bush. The worst is....no comments yet. By the way, don't worry about the America bashing if Americans and their sympathisers don't come up with retarded remarks.” Lincoln the best president is a stretch, he doesn't know everything about Lincoln, or how there is a HUGE misconception about his motives and ideals as president. he is by far one of the most important presidents in …

  • the only reason Simpson supposedly "got away with it" was because he had an incredible lawyer. I say supposedly "got away with it" because he didn't get off. he was killed in civil court, which I completely disagree with, but that's life.

  • It depends if your looking at virginity as a physical or emotional thing. people who look at virginity purely in the physical sense are usually the same people that say that a girl performing oral sex, getting fingered, or performing in any other type of sexual act other than intercourse still have their virginity in tact. some people say that virginity is performing in any type of sexual act, so a girl that consents to performing oral sex is also giving up her virginity. like someone said befor…

  • OK Neal, lets look at what I said, because I'm not sure if your really that stupid, or if you just chose not to read, or maybe your reading skills aren't that great. but lets look at it again. Quote from The Gary Native: “your problems with the Adam and Eve story are nominal if they are even important at all. looking at it by race isn't important. you claim science is important and that it doesn't match up with science. but if your a firm believer in science, you are also probably a firm believe…
